We had camped nearby the night before and were in need of breakfast the next morning. I had looked this place up before we left town, so I knew they had good reviews and were going to be open Saturday morning. Seems more like a locals place than tourists since it's off the beaten road. We came in here Saturday morning around 9 am, and were greeted and told to pick anywhere we would like to sit. We ordered: - chicken fried steak with 1/2 hashbrowns 1/2 homefries - crab cake Benedict $15 - BBQ sauce to go $8 - 1 single blackberry pancake with blackberries cooked into pancake The waitress was very accommodating. Sarina and I split the crab cake benny, the portion was pretty big and filling. I also had a bite of the chicken fried steak and that was delicious as well. The 3 of of split a pancake, loved the blackberries in it! This place is known for blackberries, so we had to try something with black berries in it! On their menu, you can buy their BBQ sauce. Cody is a huge fan of BBQ sauce, so he got one to go. Little did we know, they give it to you in a 16 oz soft drink cup, and not a more durable container. We had another night's worth of camping to do, so this was a little difficult for us. We ended up pouring the BBQ sauce into a Nalgene bottle and stored it in our cooler. A mason jar or plastic bottle might have been a lil better for us to handle. Overall, great food, and we will definitely stop here again! read more

During a recent trip, we decided to randomly drive on a different road to our destination. We passed Blackberry Cafe and vowed to come back to eat after our hike. The staff here was really great! I don't get to experience a country diner much anymore but it reminded me of many placed in my hometown. I had the fish and chips. The crinkle fries were piping hot and crisp on the outside. Yum! The fish was okay. The texture was a bit watery and it seemed frozen. The batter was a bit burnt. The slaw was unpleasant so I didn't eat it. My son had grilled cheese and fries and he was perfectly happy with everything. The BBQ pork sandwich was unique. The blackberry BBQ sauce was a very nice touch! The potato salad was well balanced with tart and sweet flavors. The blackberry lemonade was good but a little too sweet. I added water and it was perfect! We got the last piece of blackberry pie and it was delicious! The filling had great consistency and flavor. The crust was rustic and homemade. We also had a bunch of chewy cookies that were only 5 for $1!!! This place is called the Blackberry Cafe. Everything we had with blackberry was delicious so I would lean into those items next time. read more

Wow, that best pie ever! We loved everything we ate at this restaurant and we decided that we would pay the premium for the slice of blackberry pie. No regrets! And the server and her service were great too! read more

cute little roadside cafe. Very quick service, good food, and wonderful customer service. An upbeat atmosphere with good ol' rock n roll playing. read more

Great local place for breakfast and lunch. We ordered two cheeseburgers with fries and onion rings. The burgers were good and the onion rings were great. We had the wild blackberry pancakes and the mushroom and cheese omelet. The pancakes are huge and have a lot of blackberries- one is enough for one person. The omelet was good and the home fries were crispy and tasty. They're a little short staffed so expect to wait. No indoor seating now but there are a few tables outside. Good place to stop if you're hungry and in the area. read more

This is a must stop. Spotlessly clean and very comfortable. The gentleman that served us was pleasant and instantly made you feel that we has been there many times with his warm welcome and service, even though this was our first time visiting. We'll definitely be back as our breakfast was outstanding. Great experience all the way around read more

Fantastic pancakes, burgers and coffee. The staff took about 30 minutes to explain various tips about the surrounding area so that we'd be well informed (were visiting from San Francisco). Well worth a stop! read more

I'm not sure how good anything is. We stopped by close to closing time and wanted to take a piece of blackberry pie to go. Not one of three people working there even acknowledged we existed. Not a hello, goodbye, sorry we closed early... nothing. The are one of the rudest people I've ever met. read more

I came here due to the reviews expecting it to be a pleasant experience. I don't know if they were dealing with issues unknown to me but my experience was not live the reviews people posted. While I love the diner decor and the sweet waitress, I had an issue with my hash-browns. The hash-browns were overly cooked to the point of being crispy crunchy. It would have been fine if it had been just that but it wasn't. Initially, my husband had asked for some mustard and mayo for his breakfast and was met with a gentleman who seemed emotionally unbalanced. He had not only reached in front of my face with his arm to jostle through the condiments on the table, but had whatever to say to my husbands request before leaving the table. We had also asked for my hash-browns to be replaced since they hurt my gums to chew them and he wanted to say what is wrong with them. Clearly, we had given him the reason why and he wanted to argue. After he went away, I decided at that point I no longer wanted to be there. When my husband went up to this gentleman to say we were leaving, he overheard him talking badly about us. He even called us "citiots." After that, I will never be back. read more

I liked the Black Berry Cafe! First visit, a burger with jalapeños, bacon and cheese w/ GF bun. A perfect burger. Second visit meat lovers omelet w/ GF bread. Another great meal. We got Rhubarb and Blue berry slices of pie. Both were very good, not too sweet. Prices were reasonable and staff were very nice people. (I didn't see a $10 piece of pie as mentioned in another review.) Wanted to go back for the Black Berry burger, but not enough days on our trip, next time! Lots of locals visiting as well. That should tell you all you need to know! read more

We have only stopped for their milkshakes a few times. The strawberry and the blackberry are yummy!!! Its a small local hole in the wall. The people that work their are really nice and patient while I couldnt decide on a flavor. There are always cars in the parking lot when we drive by. I rated for the milkshakes :) read more

We stopped here for an unplanned breakfast and got the meat n cheese omelette w hash browns and the light breakfast w home fries and sausage. The hash browns were so good, they needed no additional seasoning. All was cooked perfectly and we were satisfied. read more

Homemade everything. Great portions. Yummy food. Friendly service!! Need I say more? I was too hungry to take pictures but I wanted to make sure this cafe got some love. We were camping at Crescent Beach and wanted a good meal but didn't want to drive 25 minutes to Port Angeles. Three of us ordered burgers. They were all juicy and delicious. The fries were hot, crispy and the right amount of salty. I was very excited that they had sweet potato fries. They were a nice treat! My daughter ordered a pancake from the kids menu. Took a bite and instantly regretted not ordering breakfast. That was one of the best pancakes I have EVER had in my life. No joke!! So flavorful that no syrup would even be needed. Super fluffy and cooked to perfection. I'd glad go back just for another pancake! We were so pleased to run into this little oasis! We will definitely be back next time we're in the area! read more

This place was close to the camp site we stayed and had great food, Atmosphere was quaint and it was consistently busy. We were starving after a long day of hiking in the Hoh rainforest along with swimming in the Pacific so we inhaled the food.

First of all the service was amazing and so kind! The food was outstanding and so well made. My husband ordered the BBQ Beef Brisket and we both loved it! Best one we have had yet. Definitely will be coming back! read more

We found this place to be over rated and tourists are getting caught up in the hype. My burger reminded me of Culver's butter burger. It was crispy browned but obviously fried in oil on the griddle and somewhat greasy, not juicy. It wasn't a bad burger, just not a quality great burger. The onion rings were great, lightly battered and crispy, as were the sweet potato fries. I love pie, I bake pies and when we travel, often will go to well rated pie places, so was excited about trying the "well known" blackberry pie. The filling was great, not too sweet and with a hint of lemon. The crust left much to be desired- somewhat under baked and doughy, not flakey and certainly nothing to write home about, especially at $10/slice. If you are in the area and in need of food, you sill get a decent meal but I wouldn't drives miles to try it. read more

At first view of the menu,it looked kind of pricey...but then I saw the portions and quality and it would seem worth it I suppose. I saw the boards up front with all the things that weren't on the menu that I'd still like to try sometime. read more

Been coming here for years, and are so glad they are (somehow) surviving covid. I've had more different things here than I can remember and its usually fast and good. The chicken strips for our toddler this year were surprisingly well seasoned and juicy The blackberry shakes alone are worth coming back for every year. Eating on a picnic bench in the meadow is lovely! read more

It was 10 o'clock in the morning, but that wasn't going to stop me. I had heard about their Blackberry pie from the concierge at our hotel (review of Olympic Lodge coming soon). "It's absolutely delicious, I highly recommend going to Joyce after visiting Salt Creek... the town is small and there's nothing else there, but just give it a chance." So we pulled up to the Blackberry Cafe, its windows lined with ornate tea pots and faux roses, we parked and sat ourselves at a booth. Sipped coffee and I did it. I ordered a slice of pie and it was.... divine. And by divine I mean...I couldn't help but laugh to myself... how could some regular old blackberry pie be THIS good? The berries are wild and freshly-picked and the pie.. it literally stuffed with them, and the thick juices spilling out its sides. Ok... why didn't I get one to-go? And why, WHY is this so far from my house?! (Picture included) read more

I have been on a blackberry mission since coming to Olympic National Park. I had the wild blackberry pancake here (1 was enough for me) that cost a bit more (than frozen marion berry pancake) but soooo worth it. Sweet looking cafe. read more

If the choice is between here or "Granny's " go to "Granny's " the chef loves what they do there. The experience here was a "let's just get this day over with and these plates served so I can go home." We did not feel the love (food wise) here at all.The servers were super nice, but it ended there. Maybe the pie is good, but I didn't want to spend $8 to find out after spending $15 on an over cooked dry burger with skimpy "fixings ". read more

It has been a family tradition for my father and I to travel up to Joyce and share the Logger Burger at Family Kitchen after a long day of hiking. This year, my father, my son and I went up to try the same thing. Unfortunately, the Family Kitchen restaurant is only open when they want to be open. On this particular day, it was closed and our stomachs and hearts dropped. Our dreams of eating an enormous burger shattered....UNTIL we drove right down the street and saw Blackberry Cafe. Blackberry Cafe is a special gem in this area of Washington. Friendly, down-to-earth service and great homemade food. They offer their own "giant" burger called the Sasquatch Burger which is a pound of meat on enormous home made buns with all the fixings. Boy, did this hit the spot. I was able to get through 3/4 of the burger and then put in the towel. No beer or alcohol served here, but thats okay. The food is delicious and the service is undoubtedly hospitable. read more

Joyce & Co. Cafe - The Sasquatch Burger: Bigger than a baby's head. - American Near Me - Joyce, Washington

$8 for one piece of pie... thought maybe it was a really big piece to split between two people-? Nope. Small piece and just wasn't very good. $42 for 4cups of coffee and 4 pieces of pie. And tip of the hat to the grammar on the menu. Apparently some of the food items have a mysterious ability to possess, uh, something... "strip's, egg's, etc." Staff was friendly though. read more

For being in remote-ish part of the peninsula, this is a great breakfast stop after camping. Good, solid ordinary breakfast. Pancakes were perfectly light and fluffy. Bacon cooked right. Coffee was mediocre, maybe I'm just used to bolder blends. Five stars for friendly staff, fast service. read more

A small roadside dinner off the beaten path. Stopped over for a quick lunch. The prices are high, the food took a long time and quality was a bit lower than expected. Even after lowering my expectations I was still a bit disappointed. If you are heading through and plan to stop for lunch, pack your lunch, or keep searching. read more

Loved it! Quaint. Friendly. Good food! Next time we may even split the Sasquatch Burger. I had the smoky burger with onion rings and it did not disappoint. Followed up of course with blackberry pie ... Flaky crust, not too sweet ... Perfect! read more

I was on a trip to the Washington coast over the 4th of July weekend and had heard of this little cafe on highway 112 past Port Angeles that had lots of homemade goodness. I just knew I was going to have to stop and give it a try. The Blackberry Cafe is a tiny little place, with the owner working up front and a cook in the back and only about ten tables and a few stools at the counter for seating. When I stopped in late in there was a small group at two tables and a few old codgers up at the counter - all obviously locals. I was hungry for breakfast so ordered the pancakes and bacon with fried eggs. My friend ordered the same pancakes only with fresh blackberries cooked inside. The service was quick, the coffee hot and the lady running the place was full of energy and seemed to be enjoying herself as she moved between the groups inside. It may not be readily apparent but my pancakes when they arrived a few minutes later were huge, filling up my plate and practically hanging off the sides! They were well cooked and tasty but my friends blackberry ones looked much better. The eggs were cooked just the way I like, over medium and the bacon was thick and tasty too. Back in the kitchen we kept hearing loud pounding noises while we ate, our proprietress informed us that they were making chicken fried steak, ("none of that frozen shit for us") from scratch for dinner later on. I thought it was a pity that by then I'd be out at the beach camping out not and not in a position to avail myself of such a dinner. Instead I knew I'd be eating backpack food out of a bag. With breakfast done and extra cups of coffee drank we left the Blackberry Cafe and continued on our way. If I'm ever back in the area I'll be sure to stop by and try out a few more items on the menu. Who knows, maybe I'll be lucky enough to show up for some chicken fried steak! http://thelamarrs.com/post/92938569764/restaurant-review-blackberry-cafe read more

I totally loved my experience here. If you're at Lake Crescent, I highly recommend stopping here for dinner. It is everything I imagine a diner experience to be like. I often see a lot of diners and cafes along rural areas and wondered how the food is like at these restaurants. At this place, it was awesome. They have a lot of corky and fun decorations inside. You can even buy a t-shirt with their restaurant name stamped across. Our waitress was really nice. I ordered the chicken salad, which I found absolutely delightful and delicious. The chicken was very flavorful because they had added some herbs. I didn't even have to use their dressing because everything was seasoned enough. My husband got the blackberry bbq burger. This tasted pretty good too. Their tatter tots were well seasoned and crispy. Everything here is about $12-$15. Their pies and desserts look pretty good but didn't dare to order it because I had already eaten so much already. read more

We walked in based on the reviews, and we were not disappointed! One of the friendliest places, the cook talked to us and got us started. The waitress was accurate and lots of fun to talk to. And the food? the biscuts and gray were wonderful and the pie was a perfect way to finish the meal. And the crew acknowledged that pie was the best breakfast there is! Anytime I get out there, they will have my business. read more

Must eat location! Cool little family restaurant with that small town feel. Food was amazing and service was fast and friendly. If you are nearby stop and eat the burger or pulled pork with black berry BarBQ sauce. You also have to have a black berry shake. Sauce was so good we bought some to take with us. Only recommendation for this restaurant would be a Masson jar for the extra bar B Q sauce so it is safer to transport home. read more

Shame on me but the berries are not tart... Camping with the family for my wife's birthday and stoped in to get her a blackberry pie. I went up to the counter and asked for a whole pie, the lady looked me square in the eye and said $45 dollars for a full pie. I looked at my wife and said "no way", she looked back at me like she was the cat with the big eyes in Shrek. I then turned to the lady at the counter and told her I would take it. I kept telling myself it would be a special pie worth the cost. In fact, the gas station up the street was telling me they use special Himalayan Blackberrys only found in clear cut lumber sites high in the mountains (still rolling my eyes to that story). Because it was my wife's birthday I had a $10 Marie Calendars frozen berry pie in the RV. We decided to have a "Side by Side Pie Challenge". Winner is...$10 frozen pie. The crust was better, the fillings were similar ($45 pie was less tart) and it was clear about the value winner. Buy $10 frozen pie and keep the $35 in your pocket. read more
